Cessna 150 - this is the airplane I learned to fly in.
It's a tiny little thing and just enough room for two people to sit side by side
if you bump shoulders. This is the plane I first soloed in (with only 6 hours of
flying time under my belt at the time!) talk about an exhilerating experience!
Needless to say, I survived to tell the tale.

2000 ft over Penobscot bay. What a great place to be!

Piper Cherokee - though a
stable aircraft, it makes me feel like I'm flying a cow.
Landings in this aircraft are more "arrivals"
than anything else. Not my favorite, but it'll do in a pinch.

Cessna 172 - Now this is a sweet aircraft. If I were to
get one, this would be it. It's an aircraft that you can really finesse.

Schweizer 2-33A - Lately, my interest has been turning
toward sailplanes. This will be the next rating I get. Perhaps I'll plan a trip to the
midwest or southwest and spend a couple of weeks working on it.

Ballooning - This is really fun and if you haven't
tried it yet, you really should. I did this with a group of friends while still in
high school. Nothing beats skimming over the surface of
a still lake in the early morning with mist rising. Or carrying on conversations
with curious people on the ground watching you glide overhead. It's simply magical.
